Broken Wings Alas Rotas

Este libro relata historias verdaderas de jóvenes que habían tratado de escapar del dolor solo para quedar atrapados en celdas obscuras e indiferentes a sus tragedias. Jóvenes cuyas alas rotas antes de empezar el vuelo terminaron por destruirlos. Se exponen momentos cruciales en la vida de estos jóvenes y se ahonda en el proceso psicológico por el que pasan y la dinámica interna que los encarcela. Se narran circunstancias en las que la estabilidad emocional se vuelve vulnerable y se entablan las luchas internas por mantener el equilibrio. La angustia de estos jóvenes se plasma en los diálogos que desgarran la realidad dolorosa de jóvenes que no pudieron escapar de las heridas lacerantes del pasado.

Narrated are the circumstances that contributed to creating their emotional vulnerable state and their efforts to maintain equilibrium.
